🌿 NEW ON THE BLOG | AUGUST READS 🌿

We have three new blogs to dive into this month, exploring plant medicine, nervous system support, resilience, tarot, and our relationships with the plants around us.

🌿 Herb of the Month: Devil’s Club
Oplopanax horridus — Protection, Resilience & the Medicine of the Heart

I’m sharing my personal relationship with Devil’s Club—one of my most trusted plant allies—and exploring its connections with protection, boundaries, recovery, resilience, and herbal medicine.

♍️ Welcome to Virgo Season 🌿✨

As we move into Virgo season, there’s an invitation to come back to the little rituals that help us feel grounded, centered, and cared for. Virgo reminds us that tending to ourselves doesn’t have to be complicated—sometimes it’s the small, intentional practices that make the biggest difference.

That feels like the perfect energy for our Serenity Line, which is 15% off through the end of August. 💜

A little aid is on the way.

Lavender + Chamomile come together in this calming botanical blend to help soothe frazzled nerves, quiet the mind, and encourage the body to relax.

Choose the ritual that works for you:

🌿 Serenity Oil Blend
💧 Serenity Essential Oil Blend
🕯️ Serenity Candle
🧼 Serenity Soap

Diffuse it. Roll it on. Light the candle. Take a warm shower. Create a few quiet moments to come back to yourself.

✨ 15% off the Serenity Line through August 31st.

Here’s to entering Virgo season a little more grounded, a little more intentional, and hopefully a lot more serene. 🌿

🌿 Claire’s Blog of the Month is here! 🔮

This month, Claire Porter takes us into The Tower—one of Tarot’s most powerful cards of disruption, truth, transformation, and rebuilding—and pairs it with the plant ally Kava.

What happens when the structures we’ve built suddenly fall away? Can those Tower moments become an invitation to see more clearly, let go of what is no longer serving us, and create something new?

Claire explores these questions alongside Kava, a plant with a long history of ceremonial and communal use in the Pacific Islands, including traditions centered around relaxation and social connection.

🌿 Set Your Mind at Ease with Tranquility

Tranquility is one of my personal go-tos when life feels stressful and my mind and body need a little extra support. I love how this blend helps me settle, relax, and feel more grounded—it relaxes my mind and body so perfectly when I need it most.

Tranquility combines magnesium with calming and uplifting nervines traditionally used to support the nervous system, ease occasional stress and anxiousness, and encourage a more balanced mood.

And you can choose the form that works best for you:

✨ Tranquility Capsules — easy, convenient support wherever the day takes you.
🌿 Tranquility Powder — perfect for adding into your daily wellness routine.

Both are 15% off all August as part of my Monthly Specials!

If stress has been running a little high lately, this is one of the blends I reach for again and again. 💜

Take the edge off with herbal support. 🌿

Feeling the effects of stress, tight muscles, or everyday tension? Our Tension Relief Salve is a topical herbal blend created to support moments when your body is asking for a little extra care.

Made with Feverfew, White Willow, and Passionflower, herbs traditionally used to support the nervous and musculoskeletal systems, this herbal salve is a wonderful addition to your self-care routine when tension starts settling into your neck, shoulders, temples, or tired muscles.

Simply massage the salve into areas of tension and give yourself a moment to slow down, breathe, and reset. 💜

✨ Tension Relief Salve is 15% off all August long as part of The Herb Shoppe’s August Stress Support Specials.

# # # 🍂🌳 Fall Equinox Guided Plant Meditation + Sound Healing 🌳🍂

As the season begins to turn, we’re gathering in Welches for an evening of **plant meditation, sound healing, and connection with Oak.**

The **Fall Equinox** invites us into a moment of balance—a threshold between light and darkness, growth and release, and the outward energy of summer and the quieter rhythm of fall.

🌳 **Our plant ally for this journey is Oak.**

Deeply rooted and enduring, Oak teaches us about **strength, resilience, protection, wisdom, and remaining grounded through change.** Like Oak, we can learn to stand firmly in who we are while still allowing life to move and change around us.

We’ll gather on **Thursday—Jupiter’s day, the day of expansion.** Together, Jupiter and Oak offer us a beautiful invitation:

✨ **Expand without losing your roots.** ✨

Through guided plant spirit meditation and an immersive sound healing journey, we’ll slow down, listen deeply, and explore what this new season is asking us to release—and what we’re ready to carry forward.

🍂 Guided Plant Meditation with Oak
🎶 Immersive Sound Healing
🌳 Plant Spirit Connection

🌙 Fall Plant Spirit Meditation Series 🌙

Journey Into the Dream World

This fall, we’re going inward. ✨

Join us for a three-part Guided Plant Meditation + Sound Healing Series exploring the dream world, intuition, and the unseen through relationship with three powerful plant allies: Mugwort, Blue Lotus + Cedar.

As the days grow shorter and we move into the darker half of the year, each gathering offers an opportunity to slow down, quiet the mind, and listen more deeply. Through guided plant meditation and sound healing, we’ll explore the unique medicine, spirit, and teachings of each plant.

We gather on Thursdays—Jupiter’s day, the day of expansion—inviting us to expand our awareness, deepen our intuition, and open ourselves to what exists beyond the everyday mind.
